Project / New Build Industrial, Minworth

Client / Bericote

Value &amp Duration / £17m - 32 weeks

This project involved construction of two new industrial units
totalling 212,000ft2 on a site that had been cleared following its
previous industrial use. The larger of the two units is an
automated internet shopping facility for one of the world's major
retailers. We have completed both the base build works and
comprehensive fitting out works for the retailer. Due to the long
co-ordination and design phase we re-sequenced the programme to
complete the external works as far as possible before the steel
frame for the building arrived on site, with block paving, tarmac,
concrete yards and even landscaping works completed in advance of
the steelwork. The second unit was a simple speculative unit for
the local Midlands market.

Project / Heathrow Logistics Park

Client / Graftongate / Black Rock

Value &amp Duration / £21m - 53 weeks

This project involved construction of four new build warehouse
units totalling 304,000ft2. The buildings are developed on a
speculative basis, the site itself is partially on the footprint of
an old sand/gravel pit and landfill site. Part of our value
engineering solution was to employ ground improvement techniques
instead of piling to three of the four units. Removal of piling
enabled an improved programme and reduced the amount of work that
would have been required in clearing obstructions from pile
positions. As well as constructing the units our works also
included s278 works with highway widening, new estate roads,
creation of new parklands amounting to approximately 50 acres of
new landscaped areas.
